Update, yo.

So I bought a pad today. I bought a pad so I can take notes down on movies I watch. Now, I've wanted to do this for a while, but I need to motivate myself more. I'm also gonna make a start on my 3D reflection of myself thingy.

About the notes, I'll probs scan my notes in maybe, then reflect on them here. Seems like an idea to me. WHAT.

Ok, so i had my review last thursday, and basically i was told to do like a minimum of 2 entires a week. this, to me was doable. is doable a word? whatevs. anyway, today we had a lecture and a seminar, both were quite very fulfilling. The lecture introduced me to a new movie; a movie that has supposedly influenced Tim Burton. Instantly, i could see the resemblance between this and Burtons movies.

The seminar got me thinking about doing some filming whenever i could. the lesson was about active learning. but more on this a little later. I'm not sure how much i get charged for this on my phone lol.

So I got my review tommorrow, they'll be looking at my journal and so on. Am I nervous? Heck no, I may not have the most on my journal, but I have a little notebook that I've started to keep. So I'll take that along.

More from Second Life

Just thought I'd add more imagery from my experience from the demented world that is 'Second Life'

So above was 'a family' taking a family photo. This concept to me was incredibly retarded, and it just made me wonder why these people do what they do.

Same scene here, me just watching them, minding my own business.

They..had a Christmas Tree up. Still. Bless.

And..cars...CARS.


Oh look, a Mercedes.

Weird transcript of SL 'interview'

So I was talking to a relatively normal person on SL. Not.

[5:11] Kaz Weatherwax: Hi
[5:12] Rainbow Sugarplum: hello
[5:12] Kaz Weatherwax: Mind if I ask you some questions
[5:12] Kaz Weatherwax: Its for a course I'm doing
[5:12] Rainbow Sugarplum: no, go ahead..
[5:12] Kaz Weatherwax: Sweet.
[5:12] Kaz Weatherwax: So WHat do you do here exactly? As in, YOU in particular..?
[5:13] Rainbow Sugarplum: well i dance in the club over there, and i rent this shop..
[5:13] Kaz Weatherwax: Coco Bongo?
[5:13] Rainbow Sugarplum: yes, its agreat club i love it..
[5:14] Kaz Weatherwax: So, are you giving rent, or are you getting it?
[5:14] Rainbow Sugarplum: i pay rent to the owner,, so i can sell my stuff..
[5:14] Kaz Weatherwax: Ahh sweet
[5:14] Kaz Weatherwax: And you sell skins and stuff?
[5:15] Rainbow Sugarplum: sometimes..
[5:15] Rainbow Sugarplum: but im not expensive like all the other shops..
[5:15] Kaz Weatherwax: I see
[5:15] Rainbow Sugarplum: i sell things as cheap as i can..
[5:16] Kaz Weatherwax: So for example, how much is an average skin and how much do you sell them for?
[5:16] Rainbow Sugarplum: an average skin can cost anything between 300ls..to....8000ls..
[5:17] Kaz Weatherwax: how much real money have you invested in this?
[5:18] Rainbow Sugarplum: why?
[5:18] Kaz Weatherwax: Lol you don't have to answer it, I'm just finding stuff out about SL and people in it
[5:18] Rainbow Sugarplum: who are you?.. and why al the questions..?
[5:18] Kaz Weatherwax: Tell me if your uncomfortable with these questions
[5:19] Rainbow Sugarplum: well if im uncomfortable i,ll tell you and i will not answer..
[5:19] Rainbow Sugarplum: it depends how personal you get..lol..
[5:20] Kaz Weatherwax: Lol no problem
[5:20] Rainbow Sugarplum: i pay 300 ls aweek for my rental of this shop..
[5:21] Kaz Weatherwax: Oh cool
[5:21] Kaz Weatherwax: I think thats plenty of info for more
[5:21] Kaz Weatherwax: Thanks for that
[5:21] Rainbow Sugarplum: but if i dont sell anything then whatever i make at the club has to pay the rent.. but i can earn 300ls in one night..

This is the second person who got all weird when I asked about money..Its like they're not allowed or something..The first person got defensive and snapped at me saying "its personal". I think its a bad area to delve into. VERY bad.

Second Life Update

So these pictures are from when i visited someone's home in Second Life, the person who owns it was the same person who had helped me as I explained in my earlier post. It was pretty cool seeing a house modelled in SL, but when I asked her about how much she had spent on the house, she said 3000. Now, I wasn't sure if that was 3000 real or 3000 in Linden dollars. I'm gonna go ahead and guess that she spent 3000 in real money. 3000 (I don't think) won't buy you a house, 3000 in real money is approximately 784144, this is based on $3000, not £. But anyway, its really hard trying to find someone to talk to on SL, but the girl mentioned above was indeed quite helpful.







I'm not sure if she actually sleeps in this bed and watched herself sleep for 8 hours, but hey, who wouldn't?!

The Wrestler

I've now seen this movie twice, and its just..wow. The story, the acting, is amazing. Granted, I'm a fan of wrestling so theres going to be that added element of interest for me, but even for a person who doesn't like wrestling, i would definitely recommend. The angles used in this movie were for me, brilliant, and theres a shot at the end of the movie which was just fantastic..I loved every second of this movie, I'll definitely be watching it again. Brilliant.
